Summary of Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| cp4 epsps (aroA:CP4) | Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain CP4 | herbicide tolerant form of 5-enolpyruvulshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme | decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby conferring increased tolerance to glyphosate herbicide |
| vip3A(a) | Bacillus thuringiensis strain AB88 | VIP3A vegetative insecticidal protein | confers resistance to feeding damage caused by lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
| cry1Ab | Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki | Cry1Ab delta-endotoxin | confers resistance to lepidopteran insects by selectively damaging their midgut lining |
| aph4 (hpt) * | Escherichia coli | hygromycin-B phosphotransferase (hph) enzyme | allows selection for resistance to the antibiotic hygromycin B |
* : Selection Marker/Reporter
